As a city expands, it is inevitable that new lines will be drawn and centres shift.

Consequently, only a property in the most strategic of locations can be expected to keep a firm toehold on prestige and value.

In Kuala Lumpur, the Jalan Ampang/Jalan Tun Razak axis is indisputably one such location. Here, Kuala Lumpur's diplomatic enclave abuts the city's foremost entertainment and shopping district, and major highways converge to provide it with excellent access from all directions.

Which, in itself, is reason enough to look at Dua Residency.

Dua Residency, so named because of its slender 20-storey twin towers, can be said to fulfill the two cardinal requirements of a blue chip property investment: a superb location and excellent design.

The first offers residents great accessibility and unrivalled views of one of the world's tallest buildings and surrounding parkland. The second simply opens one up to wider definitions of a pleasurable life and its accompanying pursuits.

Whatever the day has been like, coming home to a vision of gentle palms, contemplative mirror ponds, pale sandstone walls and symmetrical garden scapes can only lift one's mood higher and restore one's sense of balance.

Will it be a swim before dinner? Or will it be cocktails before dinner?

One has all the time to decide.
